What? Why? Not a fan of Kiera, but Watson is way too young for this perfume.

Drunken behavior? big whoop. she’s legal and European and hasn’t been photographed in that manner since. She’s allowed one night of beligerence.

I like the idea of Emma doing this, but who is she appealing to? Most kids her age (or my age, for that matter) can’t afford Chanel.
Almost everyone gets wasted on thier birthday, big damn deal

Too young for Chanel and certainly an odd target audience for that venerable, not to mention expensive perfume. I mean who’s next after her, Miley Cyrus ? I don’t know too many 18 year olds with 50 bucks to thrown down on perfume.

Watson is not to promote the Chanel housename but only it’s Coco Mademoiselle perfume which is a very young and fresh fragrance.
It is only normal that they would take someone who’s young as the fragrance is suppose to sell to that age target.
I once had a bottle of Coco Mademoiselle and I was 18 at the time… It seems logic.
Once again, changing faces is Chanel’s strategy regarding their perfumes and it is rumoured that Knightley will move on to promote more expensive Chanel product(s).

I think it is a great idea. More young women need to use her as a role model in manner of dress, not the whatever you want to call them that are currently out there promoting themselves.

Ahh she’s going to be a breath of fresh air. Emma Watson is young and looks her age (not like Lindsay), has not produced sex tapes (see Paris, Kim), has not shown the world her vajayjay (congratulate Britney, Paris, Lindsay, et al).
I think she’s going to do a great job.

In other news:
TOM CRUISE is also looking for Emma Watson to be the new face of Katie Holmes.
Creepy I know, but that is the Tom Cruise way.
Creepy.

Eh, I think this a bad choice. Emma Watson’s looks – while pretty – are not really “Chanel”… she’s more “Land’s End” to me.
Now Kiera is Chanel. She’s got a face to land a million ad campaigns.
Don’t hate her because she’s beautiful, CB!

I understand how Kiera is perceived as too thin and partying and drinking too much to appeal for a classy, elegant brand, but an 18 years old, as sweet as she might be- will bring a fan base of children.
In my family, the people who look up to her are a 4 years old and a 7 years old.
None of them would buy anything that has to do with high fashion.
Even a 23 years old is very young, as mostly younger people would look up to her and they don’t have a lot of money to spend on fashion as the older girls and women.
Simply an odd decision.

Chanel needs to find FRENCH people for their ads, not skanked faced actresses.
ATTENTION CHANEL PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF DECISIONS!: Get a scout, okay. Go to Universities and pastry shops around town & find a beauty who is doing something w/her life & give HER the money. Introduce someone who is DOING SOMETHING. It’s France for cryin’ out loud. The country is up to it’s eyeballs w/beauties running to & fro.

I think it’s very business savvy, this Emma Watson Chanel-contract decision. She’s a young adult, now, and she isn’t “miley Cyrus” by a long, long shot, at all. She’s a classy, fresh-faced young lady, obviously possesses natural elegant style, and appeals to young women from teenage through late twenties, as a model promoting a fine fragrance. I think Chanel is a company run by a few very in-the-moment brilliantly business-minded people, they always pick the right face at the right time for the right ad campaign. They used Lindsay Lohan for a minute, when LiLo was in her prime beauty-wise, and Nicole Kidman looks stunning in those Chanel ads she’s in, of course Keira Knightley is another brilliant choice of model representing the Chanel brand – and you’d be surprised how many young women and teens can afford to purchase a bottle of Coco Chanel, it isn’t Joy de Jean Patou Eau du Parfum, it’s a normal-priced eau de toilette, like $60 tops.
I was a guest in the audience at a taping of an episode of the Wayne Brady show about 5 years ago, and Emma Watson was one of the guests. She must’ve been about 13 at the time, promoting one of those Harry Potter films. She came across as a real perfectionisty little girl, mature for her age, but a little annoying because she had this young-teen-celebrity snobbery thing going on, a sort of fragile, newly minted exaggerated sense of self-importance. But perhaps she’s grown into herself by now, and toned down on that irritating teen-girl tendency. She certainly grew to be a very beautiful young woman, didn’t she? Very pretty girl.

Snowblood, genius post. Really, very astute but in your 2nd paragraph the logic is eluding me a little. Well, I’m tired. We’ll talk about it tomorrow perhaps.

Back again for a second b/I fall out. Young Snowblood have her own blog? You can’t be too young (compliment, I swear)to be writing so eloquently. Am I right?

I agree with Kaiser. Land’s End. American Eagle, tops. If Tyra Banks has taught me anything, it’s that Watson is has commercial appeal, not couture. And Chanel ads are couture more than commercial, even if they’re selling perfume.

what are you talking about? 18 year olds (and especially teens younger than 18) are the only ones right now with money to spend on “$60 tops” perfume. they’ve traditionally been the target audience for advertising campaigns since they have tons of disposable income and don’t have to pay rent/utilities/etc. CoCo Mademoiselle is not a scent intended for older audiences (thus mademoiselle, not madame).Using Emma Watson will appeal to the desired target audience.
Also, Emma Watson has really blossomed from when she first started doing HP. She’s beautiful, elegant, and not awkwardly thin. She also doesn’t have the negative press that Kiera does following her around. I think she’s a great choice, and I was really excited when i first heard about this.
